I will make it gemakkelijk for you in this bericht:<br />Your recipe for dutch appeltaart is very very good, but not helemaal perfekt. My grootmoeder, who is a masterchef when it comes to appelaart, adds another ingredient: before putting the apples in, she adds a thin laagje amandelspijs on the bodem of the taart. Not too much, Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136131691574295875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3998452736393635440.post-74895958024363715392011-11-28T03:53:04.529+01:002011-11-28T03:53:04.529+01:00Wow it looks super glazed and tasty.

Case in point,I did after all steal my baby's apples and make the apple pie. It was truly gorgeous! The dough was lovely, although I did decrease the sugar a bit. And the apple juices caramelized with the sugar in the oven (I used soft light brown sugar). All in all, a keeper!
